My dream was to have a veil like the daughter in The Godfather. The opening scene is at her wedding. Growing up Italian it was always my dream to have a big wedding and a very long veil.
I got my dress at David's Bridal and when you go there, they try to sell you everything you can imagine. They dress you up in the gown (the undergarments), the veil, the tiara, the jewelry, etc. I tried on two veils (one is what you call a fingertip veil and the second was a cathedral length veil.) The fingertip veil had details to match my dress and the cathedral length was ivory and had small pearls all over it. When I had my dress altered, I had David's Bridal combine both of my veils onto one comb and put the cathedral length veil on with Velcro so it could be removed. I did not get my tiara from David's. They were very over priced and I did not see one I liked.
While planning my wedding I spent quite a bit of time online and after going to David's I searched online for tiaras. I knew I would be able to find something. I found this website: http://www.princessbridetiaras.com/ they have veils, tiaras, jewelry and a guide of how to wear a tiara and veil. I found my tiara on their website (see above) and absolutely loved it. It was high quality, durable and so beautiful. I also saved over $100 from the ones they had at David's Bridal.
My only advice on this subject is, if you get a cathedral length veil make sure you get it so that it can be detached. It was absolutely beautiful and was great for pictures but as they day went on I was tired of people stepping on it, tripping on it or it getting caught on the pavement, etc. I was so relieved to be able to take it off. I actually took both veils off for the reception and left the tiara on.
Good luck and shop smart.
